The Insta-Dead: the rhetoric of the human<br>remains trade on Instagram, Internet Archaeology 45.<br>https://doi.org/10.11141/ia.45.5<br><br>There is a thriving trade, and collector community, around human remains<br>that is facilitated by posts on new social media such as Instagram,<br>Facebook, Etsy, and, until recently, eBay. In this article, we examine<br>several thousand Instagram posts and perform some initial text analysis on<br>the language and rhetoric of these posts to understand something about the<br>function of this community, what they value and how they trade, buy, and<br> [...]Judith Winters2017-06-06T13:11:24+01:002017-06-06T13:11:24+01:00Issue 44: Digital Creativity in Archaeology https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk:443/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=intarch-interest;6670ff48.1706I am very pleased to announce the publication of a themed issue on Digital<br>Creativity in Archaeology, edited by Gareth Beale and Paul Reilly.

Old computer games<br>in particular had to function under technical constraints that would be<br>alien to many modern programmers, while at the same time providing something<br>novel and at first foreign to consumers.

At a broad level,<br>it draws on the unprecedented volume of legacy data gathered from many<br>different sources - almost one million records in total - for the English<br>Landscape and Identities project (Oxford, UK).

The Early Mesolithic, by contrast, witnessed the start of the<br>permanent occupation of the British landscape, with certain key sites<br>showing evidence for long-lasting occupation from the very start of the<br>period. However, currently our understanding [...]Judith Winters2016-12-12T14:14:52+00:002016-12-12T14:14:52+00:00New in IA42: The Intellectual Base of Archaeological Research 2004-2013 https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk:443/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=intarch-interest;ad77daf.1612I am pleased to announce the open access publication in Internet<br>Archaeology 42 of<br><br>The Intellectual Base of Archaeological Research 2004-2013: a visualisation<br>and analysis of its disciplinary links, networks of authors and conceptual<br>language<br><br>by Anthony Sinclair http://dx.doi.org/10.11141/ia.42.8<br><br>An exponential growth in research outputs, the great diversity of sources<br>used, and the number of active researchers in archaeology make it<br>impossible for any individual to present an overview of the discipline<br>using reading and narrative alone.
